A reputable provider communicates clearly and honestly. This includes information about safety, weather, weight limits, possible postponements, and cancellation policies. In paragliding, a lot depends on the weather. That’s why it’s important for a provider not to simply want to fly at any cost, but to make responsible decisions.

Reviews can also be helpful. If many guests say they felt safe, well-informed, and personally cared for, that’s a good sign. But what matters most is the feeling: Are my questions being taken seriously? Is there a clear explanation of what’s possible and what isn’t? That’s exactly how you recognize professionalism.

A good flight doesn’t start once we’re in the air. It begins with the preparations. We always check the weather conditions first, explain the procedure to our guests, and answer any questions. It’s important to us that no one is simply “processed.”

Many guests may only go on a tandem flight once in their lives. We’re aware of that. That’s why we want to offer not just a safe flight, but an experience they’ll never forget. We want guests to understand what’s happening, build trust, and truly enjoy the moment.

Paragliding Interlaken is a special place. Its location between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, the surrounding mountains, and the view of the Jungfrau region make for a truly impressive flight. At the same time, the region is very well organized for tandem flights.

The distances to the launch sites are short, the landing sites are easily accessible, and the procedures are well-established. This makes it pleasant for guests and allows us pilots to plan our flights in a very professional manner. On top of that, Interlaken has a long tradition of paragliding. You can really tell here that paragliding is an integral part of the region.

That’s a very important question. There are many professional providers in Switzerland, and ultimately, you should feel safe and well taken care of. A good provider explains the process clearly, works with experienced and licensed pilots, and takes the time to attend to guests.

At Paragliding Interlaken, we’ve been flying with guests from all over the world since 1990. This experience helps us a lot because we know that every guest is different. Some are just excited, while others are a little nervous before takeoff. Both reactions are completely normal. Our goal is for guests to feel well taken care of from the moment they first contact us until they land.
